Introduction
The VLC media player framework can use your graphics chip (a.k.a. GPU) to accelerate decoding of video streams depending on the video codec, graphic card model and operating system. In some cases, it can let the graphic card perform post-processing and rendering of the decoded video. In any case, this frees the main processor (i.e. CPU) of some of the most computationally heavy sub-tasks involved in playing digital video.
VLC is so well respected that it’s the go to media player for downloads that won’t play in its commercial counterparts. It is also a compelling server that streams live and on-demand video, through both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols, on a high-bandwidth network.

Milliseconds might be required to get a specify or specified part of an audio or video file. It is also used while creating subtitles or editing a video or audio. VLC for Windows VLC is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework that plays most multimedia files as well as DVDs, Audio CDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols.

Activation
See also: VLC HowTo/Hardware acceleration
To enable hardware accelerated decoding, use the VLC preferences. By default, hardware acceleration is disabled (and consequently, hardware acceleration is not yet available to external application via libVLC).
In VLC version 2.1, you can select which acceleration method you wish to use among those available for your operating system (if any). In earlier versions, there was simply a check box as shown below:
Operating system support
Windows
Since VLC version 1.1.0, DirectX Video Acceleration (DxVA) is supported in DxVA 2.0. It is available in Windows Vista (or Windows 2008) or any later Windows version; it is not available for Windows XP/2003 (and never will be). Ps4 dns server cannot be used.
This has also been discussed in the forum
The following video codecs are supported: MPEG-1, MPEG-2, WMV3, VC-1 and H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC).
X11 (GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, etc.)
On Linux/X11, there are two competing interfaces for hardware video decoding, VA-API from Intel, and VDPAU from NVIDIA. Generally, VAAPI is used for Intel and Broadcom graphic cards, while VDPAU is used for AMD/ATI and NVIDIA cards.
VA-API
Nectar elements serial number. VA-API is supported for decoding only since VLC version 1.1.0.Refer to VLC VAAPI for more details.
On modern Ubuntu distributions, first install the hardware support (packages i965-va-driver, libva-intel-vaapi-driver and vainfo) and then activate GPU hardware acceleration in Preferences → Input&Codecs.
Install via the terminal command:
The following video codecs are supported: MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 Visual, WMV3, VC-1 and H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC).
VDPAU
VDPAU is supported for decoding since VLC version 2.1.0, and for post-processing and rendering since VLC 2.2.0 (still in development as of late 2013).
VDPAU will be enabled automatically by default in VLC version 2.2.0 onward.Refer to http://www.remlab.net/op/vlc-vdpau.shtml for technical details.
The following video codecs are supported for decoding: MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 Visual (and possibly H.263), WMV3, VC-1 and H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC). Almost all video codecs are supported for post-processing and rendering.
macOS
Video Decoding Acceleration (VDA) comes with macOS X.6.3 and later (see API). This is somewhat supported in VLC 2.1.0.
Only H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC) is supported currently.
Graphic card compatibility
Windows
To check your DxVA compatibility, please download DxVA Checker
nVidia
For nVidia GPU, you are required to use a GPU supporting PureVideo in its 2nd generation (VP2 or newer), which means that you need an ION, GeForce 8, GeForce 9 (recommended), GeForce 200 or newer.
We strongly recommend a VP3 or VP4 GPU.
To be sure, check your GPU against this table on Wikipedia and check if you are VP2 or newer.
ATI
For ATI GPUs, you NEED Catalyst 10.7, that is just out.
Then, you are required to use a GPU supporting Unified Video Decoder.
We believe you need a GPU supporting UVD2, like HD4xxx, 5xxx, 6xxx or 3200. One might have success with UVD+ GPU, like some HD 3xxx, but this isn't tested.
Intel
Latest Intel GMA should work. Tested on GNU/Linux (Ubuntu 13.10) and hardware acceleration definitely works for Intel HD Graphics 3000 (dropped CPU usage for HD720 (1280 x 720, H.264, 24fps) from 12-13% to 6%).
